Here she goes. So much for trying to be diplomatic for once. And it wasn’t even like he said anything that wasn’t true. She did put too much pressure on her shoulder — he was only going to suggest that she let others carry that burden with her.
Oh well.
As Leia’s tone —
She stared at him as if he’d spoken in butchered Shyriiwook, her frown deepening at the comment. Clearly, a nerve had already been struck.
“And what would be an 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦 amount of worry in your eyes?” she snapped back.

It was true that Han stayed because he believed in the rebellion. For once, he wasn’t thinking about lining up his pockets. But there was —
Hey, he’s always nice. She’s the one that always manages to push his buttons.
The Smuggler slowly approaches Princess, hand latching onto his blaster-holster as his eyes meet the endless gaze of the galaxy.

Each of ‘em has a talent. He couldn’t be more proud.

True. Anakin is good with machines, but Jacen would turn it into a zoo. But she loves the Falcon, probably almost as much as he does.

“Falcon’s on the other side of the base, kid! It’s now or never!”
Damn hyperdrive was damaged during a little dust-up with a squadron of TIE Fighters. Managed to escape by the skin of his teeth.
Guess who has to fix it since @kingwookshyyk is sleeping his lazy ass off.
